What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithospheric plates?
Lithospheric plates are outlined by faults.
What most effectively outline the edges of the lithospheric plates?
Mid-ocean ridges and deep sea trenches (with their associated volcanos). Also in limited areas strike-slip fault systems (e.g. California), continental collision zones (e.g. India & Asia), etc.
Where do the worlds earthquakes occur around?
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
Most earthquakes happen-?
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
Do lithospheric plates include both continental crust and oceanic crust?
It is possible to have continental and oceanic crust on the same plate. The only to this exception is with the Pacific plate which exists independently.
What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithospheric plates?
Lithospheric plates are outlined by faults.
The edges of most litospheric plates are characterized by?
frequent volcanic activity
What factors are most important when determining the type of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plates collide?
i love it
Where are most active volcanoes abundant?
Edges of tectonic plates

What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithosphere plates?
The lines of earthquake epicenters most effectively outline the edges of the lithosphere plates. The epicenter refers to the point on the earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake.
The most common way for mountain to form is when?
The most common way for mountains to form is when two lithospheric plates collide. This can cause volcanism and folding of rocks in the crust forming mountain belts.
Where do the worlds earthquakes occur around?
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
Roughly how fast do most lithospheric plates move?
About 3 cent. a year About 3 cent. a year About 3 cent. a year About 3 cent. a year
Active volcanoes are most likely to form at .?
Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the tectonic plates.
What does the lithospthere include?
The lithosphere includes the crust (oceanic and continental) and the uppermost part of the mantle. The lithospheric plates are thinnest at the ocean, varying from between a few kilometers to 100 kilometers in deep-ocean basins. The continental lithosphere, on the other hand, is generally about 100 to 250 kilometers thick. The most important feature of the lithosphere is its divisions into lithospheric plates. These plates move and collide, creating earthquakes, fault lines, etc.
Why are most volcanoes located on the edges of continents?
because the crust is thinner and the techtonic plates meet.
